Owned by the same family since it was built in the early 1970s, Dolphin House is a unique and impressive eight bedroomed property, designed and built by Trevor Rogers (and referred to in his book “If We Lived in the Highlands”). Used as a private house and more recently as a successful holiday home and let, this substantial property has many original features including its swept back roof verges, reminiscent of an eagle’s wings above larch clad gables and its wide balcony with spectacular views. Close to, but away from the bustle of the village in a prime location on The Braes, Dolphin House is secluded and fits into the landscape with views up the loch to the Fannich Hills, across to An-Teallach and out to Beinn Ghobhlach. The main house has an entrance to the side into a hall which opens to the impressive living and dining room with a bay window, wood-burning stove and a door to the balcony. The balcony runs the width of the house and can also be accessed from the master bedroom. There are two further bedrooms off the main hall and a fully fitted kitchen. The rear wing of the property has three bedrooms (one with a door to the garden), a bathroom and a back door to the side garden. The ground floor accommodation has an open plan dining-kitchen and living room and can be used as a separate two bedroom flat or as part of the main house. Outside, the driveway sweeps up past a stone built single garage which has a parking area built over it. Built on the hill, the house is surrounded by an easily maintained mature garden with trees. Currently a holiday let and offered for sale with most of its furniture, this unique property has potential to be used as a private dwelling with a guest or granny annex or be could equally be developed as B&B accommodation. * Dolphin House is in a prime location on The Braes, a sought after residential area of Ullapool an attractive coastal village in Wester Ross. Its west facing, elevated position gives the house panoramic views of Loch Broom and the surrounding hills. Residents and visitors to Ullapool enjoy the shops, cafés and restaurants as well as outdoor activities and the spectacular scenery.
